Why do Gell-Mann matrices have this normalization?

This might be a stupid question, but why is the normalization of the Gell-Mann matrices (basis of the $mathrm{su}(3)$ Lie algebra) chosen to be$$mathrm{trace}(lambda_ilambda_j)=2delta_{ij}$$instead of just...

Is the position kinematic equation an approximation?

Is the $Delta x=v_0t+frac{1}{2}at^2$ kinematic equation an approximation? I'm not asking with reference to relativity, but rather is it still an approximation within Newtonian Physics? I remember deriving this...
